Starplane - S Litchfield & S. Windisch

A boy walks alone
In a field of corn
His hope was all gone
When they came crashing down
They came down hard
They made a mark as big
As the field was wide
And they all died

A girl walks alone
Following a path inside
Thinking not of herself
But of a rising tide
She talks, but to no one
In that same field of corn
Follows the starplane that died
A thousand years 'fore she was born

The memory of that day
when a starplane came that way
wounded by a war
that she wasn't fighting for
her memory has faded now
but the starplane still lies underground
holding close for ever more
the shattered body of the boy
